A church that for the past three years has met at the Holiday Inn Express on Route 10 has been approved by the School Board to begin worshipping at Creekside Elementary School.

Pastor Brian Williams said King of Glory Baptist Church would enjoy a location that’s more central, and also more spacious and generally convenient.

“It’s a re-launch,” Williams said Monday, standing outside his church’s new North Suffolk meeting location.

“We not only serve families in Suffolk, but also in the surrounding cities.”

With about 30 members, Williams described his church as “still small right now.”

“We want to be able to grow,” he added. “There are more opportunities to have ministries and classes for our youths and adults.”

Currently the district’s food and nutrition services supervisor, Williams has worked for Suffolk Public Schools since 2001. His wife of 20 years, Tracy Williams, is a guidance counselor at King’s Fork Middle School.

“(We) have a heart for the students and Suffolk Public Schools,” he said.

Brian Williams attended Virginia Tech, where he played football, and later also graduated, with a seminary degree, from Liberty University.

Beginning April 5, the church’s regular Sunday service at Creekside Elementary will start at 10 a.m.

Williams described it as a contemporary service with “uplifting praise and worship (and) strong, Biblical preaching and teaching.”

“We have a heart to build strong families and strong marriages,” he said. “My desire is to help the less-fortunate.”

The church is also signing on as a partner in education with Creekside, Williams said, and will look at providing it with school supplies and other resources.

“We are also wanting to come out and be mentors, and be a resource in the educational process for the staff and the students,” he said.
